Thanks. Well I can't do much comparing because I simply don't have Modern Combat: Sandstorm. Aside from that though, I think the Eliminate controls are really spot on. It's just that I would like to have the option to invert looking up and down. I know that a lot of people play FPS un-inverted these days, but I started with and ever since played inverted. Right now I'm still practicing with the bots and find myself having a hard time looking in the direction I want to look. And yes, with the swap controls option you have movement on the right and look/shoot on the left. Nevertheless, it's a hell of a game
Yep. Without invert look, no play time and no purchases for me. Was really excited about this one, and it looks really smooth. Good work, but let's add that inverted look option, and soon.
I would love to see a Field of View setting. Maybe 2 or 3 angles to choose from. So the player can decide whether he prefers easier aiming or a better overview of the battlefield...
According to the Ngmoco twitter, it was causing serious load on their servers. I'd much rather have a stable, lag-free game with no server downtime than voice chat.
Going along with improved offline mode, I don't think an improved AI, would be the solution. What is needed is an AI that adapts to your skill level. Similar to chess programs that increases or decreases in skill based on your play against them. Let me provide an example. In the options menus, there would be a slider that ranged from 0 to 10000 skill lvl. There would also be a setting that would "adjust skill after match". Say you skill lvl online is 3600, and you are having trouble against people of that skill. You would set the offline bots to something like 3500. You play a match against these bots and win, but barely. The game would then adjust it to 3580. Lets say you did do very well, then the game would adjust it to something like 3700 and so forth. I think this is a very good mode for people who either need help practicing, or have increased their skill lvl very rapidly online, and are now dealing with people who are 7-10 levels higher than they are, and with much better gear. For this option to work the game would need the following: Use of Gear Offline: If you are using a plasma cannon online and infiltrator, how would you improves using the standard armor which is much slower? Much More Intuitive Bots: The bots need to learn from your gameplay and adapt to it. They have to be based off of the online strategies used. At a higher skill lvl, the bots should be using Infiltrator/Plasma Cannon or Sniper/Auto-Rifle, etc. Based of what the common Armor/Weapon combo is online for a certain skill level should be what a bot is using for that set skill.
